Good vs. Evil
With good being terms of excellent, high quality, right, well-behaved, or even righteous. And Evil being in terms of morally wrong or bad, misbehaved, characterized by misfortune, and even bad conduct, we ask ourselves what constitutes good and evil. Good is an extremely broad concept that can concern love, happiness, life, charity, and even justice. Evil, also being a broad concept, is associated with deliberate wrong doing, discrimination, and even harm to others. We often catch ourselves getting into evil situations rather than good situations. For example, killing one person to save an entire tribe. In a way, it is an evil act as far as killing a person, but it also constitutes a good act for saving an entire tribe from one person trying to destroy it. Society tries to diminish situations that involve someone killing themselves or attempting murder to one person for no reason. But, when a situation arises like above, society makes sure that the world will know about an accomplishment concerning his/her act. Anymore, a person will try to give themselves a name and try to “fit” in for personal reasons. Therefore, some will try performing evil acts to justify themselves. As a personal opinion, I feel if everyone was to perform good acts rather than evil acts, no one would have to try to fit in and make themselves something. Everyone would be equally unique and themselves rather than being someone they are not. People try to be better than another person and that is what causes evil acts to occur. Yes, I know this will never happen because this world is full of sin and sorrow and that is how the world was meant to be. But, of the seven deadly sins, we almost perform them daily. I wish that we could all just be equal and not compete with one another. If one of my friends were to perform an evil act that could not be justified, I would be the first one to say
